Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 78 /100

Daredevil: Born Again has been received with generally enthusiastic praise, especially from fans who missed the gritty tone of the original Netflix adaptation. Critics widely applaud the return of Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock and Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk, noting that the duo's central rivalry and dynamic performances continue to provide the series with intense character-driven gravity. Reviewers also single out the ambitious storytelling, polished visuals, and brutal action set pieces as effective recaptures of what made the original run so compelling.

However, the reception is not without reservations. Several reviewers describe the transition to Disney+ as a bit of a mixed bag, pointing out that certain narrative beats feel overly familiar or that the series relies on tired tropes. Others note controversial creative decisions that risk alienating purists, as well as shifts in pacing that leave the superhero persona sidelined during daylight hours. Still, the overarching consensus regards the revival as a bold and crowd-pleasing continuation of Marvel's darkest television storyline.

“The excellent acting and bravura set pieces make it a crowd-pleasing watch.”

“A brilliantly detailed continuation, centering on a gutted Matt Murdock (Cox), whose newfound rage threatens to consume him.”

“Uneven, but the ambitious nine-part series lands plenty of punches if you go in knowing that it positions comic-book fare not as escapist entertainment but as bloody, political commentary.”

“Does a mostly solid job of capturing what made the original 2015-2018 Daredevil series on Netflix so good.”

Why fans love it

Daredevil: Born Again operates as a direct sequel to prior encounters between Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk. The adaptation centers on the friction between two rigid archetypes: a blind attorney working within the legal system and a former mob boss attempting to reshape New York through a mayoral run. Charlie Cox returns as the lead, balancing the precision required of a blind superhero with the practical demands of practicing law.

The series avoids the polished sheen common to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in favor of a blunt, street-level approach to crime and punishment. By grounding the conflict in shifting political ambitions and long-held grudges, the show creates a sense of inevitability that moves beyond traditional comic book tropes. It is a calculated study of how former enemies maintain their alignment as they move toward an unavoidable collision.
